Perhaps the content could be converted into static pages if the forum is shut down for good so the guides are at least preserved for the people who want to play older games and shoot shots in them. A lot of valuable info is lost otherwise...

It wouldn't be hard to convert the guides to any other site seeing as they're all in HTML.

Duncan just doesn't have the motivation to keep this place going and any issues that crop up just serve as more motivation for him to scrap it (bugs when trying to post, the missing text formatting buttons, etc etc).
